Better because of cricket.
We mill food-grade crickets into a fine, mild flour, then bake it into a snack you'd actually crave. You get the protein and the crunch. That's the whole point.

Get invited to a tastingQuestions, answered.
Can I taste the crickets?
Cricket flour is mild and a little toasty. The first thing you'll notice is the crunch.
Where do the crickets come from?
From farms that raise crickets specifically for human food. We'll name our farm partner here before launch.
I have a shellfish allergy. Is CHISPA OK for me?
Please skip it. Crickets are related to shellfish, and people with shellfish allergies can react to them. Check with your doctor if you're unsure.
Is it gluten free and dairy free?
Yes, both. No artificial sweeteners or preservatives either.
When and where can I buy it?
The first batch drops in Los Angeles, and the waitlist gets access before anyone else. We'll email you the date.
